Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 219cm

Posted on Saturday 11th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


A bit more snowfall in the village to report this morning and varying amounts reported from the resorts around the valley, all noted below where available.


Lots of cloud around this morning - more than there was yesterday - and it is snowing - though generally visibility seems to have improved in the last hour or so since very grey and foggy like start to the day in most areas.


Different forecasts are giving varying messages for tomorrow... cloud and snow, or cloud and sun. Which do you prefer?


Today is the first of the three day weekend here so lift lines can be expected.
